Q: G String
At about 5:04 am, G String was just awakening from his slumber and realized he was about to make a huge mistake. He yelled at himself, threw on his clothes, and rushed to the Bell Tower as fast as possible only to arrive at about 5:17 am. The PAX had started a mosey around the parking lot and saw G String speeding in. They turned and returned to the flags for this partial fartsack of a Q.
One could tell G String was embarrassed of his late arrival. Hisvoice was crackly, and as he wiped the sleep from his eyes and tried to smile through his discomfort, he welcomed the PAX to F3’s Bell Tower then requested 5 burpees. He stated the credo that we leave no man behind and no man where we found him, asking for another 5 burpees. He stated the Mission Statement to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. As he began to state that there are 5 core principles, Chernobyl was starting more burpees – it’s free, open to all men, always outside, it’s held in a rotating fashion, and it ends in a circle of trust. He then asked for 5 burpees. He disclaimed to the group that he is not a professional. No FNG’s were present. Note – the Burpees was certainly a page from Mufasa’s book; however, it was an opportunity for G String to really wake up and think about all the content he had to cover… The group then moseyed to the football field for a quick WaR.
Warm a Rama:
– 10 x Cherry Pickers (IC)
– 10 x Tappy Taps (IC)
– 10 x Big Ones (IC)
G String explained briefly that he had reached out to many PAX that he has grown to love and respect over the year and asked them their favorite and least favorite body weight exercise. Today’s beatdown is a compilation of these exercises.
PRE-THANG
The group lined up along the goal line, bear crawled to the 20 yard line, performed two burpees, bear crawled back to the goal line, and performed three Lieutenant Dan’s. After about 5 minutes of this, the PAX moseyed to the front of the school’s east entrance to be near the great wall.
THE-THANG
G String set a timer and the PAX performed 23 different exercises one time for a minute each then resting for 22 secondsin between exercises. The location and setup was perfect for some good mumblechatter, which is exactly what G String wanted from the group.

COT:
Switching to the first person… I took the opportunity to explain the last G of the G Code book – Group. The four G’s to live by (Gratitude, Genetics, Grind, and Group) have been the focus of 4 of my COT’s this year. The Group is the people you surround yourself with, and I wanted everyone to go into 2023 really thinking about who they want in their group. I am grateful to have found F3 as this is such a great group of HIM and that’s who I strive to be. I recited a quote that “you are the average of the 5 people you spend most time with” and asked that the men really look at any negative relationships or poisons in their life and try to eliminate that because it’s only bringing them down. Best of luck to the group for 2023.
G String led us out in somewhat of a prayer.
Aye!
G String
